For New Standards in Women’s Football: This Is How TSG Hoffenheim Women and KINEXON Cooperate
KINEXON accompanies the professional women’s team of TSG Hoffenheim to further develop live player tracking and data analysis to the requirements of women for the first time. By using the mobile player tracking system KINEXON PERFORM GNSS, data and knowledge gaps will be filled and new standards will be set.

About the Team
The women’s division of TSG Hoffenheim has been in existence since 2007. The first team was promoted to the Bundesliga in 2013 and has since been a permanent fixture in Germany’s top division. After a ninth-place finish in the year of promotion, TSG finished the following season in sixth place. Third place in the 2020 – 21 season also meant qualifying for the Champions League for the first time.
The Challenge
The majority of sports science studies and analysis methods — and thus the foundations of sports science training planning — are developed by men and are based on men. As a result, women and men are largely treated the same in training planning — even though requirements of players differ.
The Motivation
With our Sports Science Consulting Team at KINEXON, we are challenging this status quo. We are convinced that the individual requirements of women in sports have gone largely unrecognized for too long, resulting in an enormous untapped performance potential on any given team.
Our Approach
With our mobile player tracking system KINEXON PERFORM GNSS and our Sports Science Consulting Team, we will intensively accompany TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the coming years. Together, we fill data and knowledge gaps and work on new ways to make live data and analysis efficient and meaningful.

Why We Stop Treating Women Like Men
Women deserve the same approach as men. This means: knowledge, training methods, and analysis techniques developed based on men can not be applied 1:1 to women. Here’s why.
The Tech Behind the Case
TSG Hoffenheim uses KINEXON PERFORM GNSS for performance and load analysis. The GPS-based tracking solution is 100% mobile and streams live to the AWS Cloud.
